History

Naxxar Lions Football Club are a football club from the village of Naxxar in the northern part of Malta. Founded in 1920, it was the first football club in the north of Malta. The club had a very positive period in the 1940's and after some years languishing in the lower divisions, the club had several years of glory. Michael Zammit Tabona was appointed president in the 80's, establishing the club as one of the best on the island, playing for several years in the Maltese Premier Division. After being relegated from the top league at the beginning of the new century, the club had to face a difficult period and was relegated to third division a few years ago. Last season Naxxar were Maltese Third Division champions, meaning that they were promoted to the Maltese Second Division.
